Female Portrait Critique (Feedback?)

Hi,

I would appreciate your feedback on this Portrait.

What do you think of the lighting?

What do you think of the retouching?

Anything that you think could be better or improved on?

Thanks in advance.

Craig

Looks very good
I myself would love to see a little more colour in her skin, but she might be slightly pale to begin with!?

Lighting on the face is very good, minor shadow under the nose (main light too high?). Might be a touch hot on her left arm. Nicely done overall

the color seems bit washed out. you also may want to either clone out the hair sticking out or liquify it in a bit.

Thanks for the tips so far.

The uploaded image seems more washed out than the original
for some reason.

I'd add a touch more red to her lips and that's about all.
